Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Kerry McCarthy)
We know that nature-based solutions have a key role to play in climate mitigation and keeping to 1.5°C at home and abroad. I have met the Minister for Nature, my hon. Friend the Member for Coventry East (Mary Creagh), and the Government have appointed two special representatives for climate and for nature, who will be working closely together too.
